Jesus the I am John 8:58

Jesus the I am

Jesus is saying I am God “Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am.£ This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’

Jesus is saying I am God ” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,£ the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is my name for ever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” Genesis 3:13-15

Jesus is saying I am God “..This name for God was considered to be so holy that the Jews would not speak it. It is said that when a scribe was copying the Scriptures and came to this name for God, he would take a new pen just to write that name." John Phillips

Jesus is saying I am God I am the Bread of life (Jn 6:35) I am the Resurrection and the Life (Jn 11;25) I am the Light of the World (Jn 9:5) I am the True Vine (Jn 15:1) I am the Son of God (Jn 10:36)

Jesus is saying I am God I am the Good Shepherd (Jn 10:14) I am the Door (Jn 10:7) I am the Way the Truth and the Life (Jn 14:6)

Jesus is saying I am eternal "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'' John 8:58 ἐγώ εἰμι: absolute, timeless existence; I am

Jesus is saying I am eternal The timeless one stepped into time, when He became a man and was born on the first Christmas Day Jesus is pointing to His eternal, timeless nature as God

Jesus is saying I am hope “But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:23-24

Jesus is saying I am hope “So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”  John 8:28-29

Jesus is saying I am hope “. .Jesus was not crucified on a cross in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves on the town rubbish heap..” Tim Zingale

Jesus is saying I am hope It was from Jesus incredible sacrifice on the cross that the truth of his words were proved not by intellectual argument but in his obedience to God’s purposes – that we might know life and live that life in hope

Jesus is saying I am hope “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

Jesus is saying I am hope He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.”  Titus 3:3-7

Jesus says I am To fully understand the individual “I am” saying’s we need to grasp that each truth Jesus taught comes from the background of his position as God

Jesus says I am

Jesus says I am “Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time..” Titus 1:1-2

Jesus says I am Jesus is saying I am God Knowing this transforms our perception of what Jesus said and taught

Jesus says I am Jesus is saying I am eternal Knowing this transforms our sense of security and confidence

Jesus says I am Jesus is saying I am hope Knowing this transforms our daily struggles into a journey of discovery

Jesus says I am Jesus says I AM The question Jesus asks of us is AM I this to you?
